Tonight I was at class and we learned (and practiced ) the correct way to position your foot at all times. I forgot the word! My teacher said it a hundred times, but it has escaped me. To be more specific, I am looking for the "term" that describes the position of the foot when the heel is above the toes. An example would be the position of the foot in arabesque when your foot wings toward the ceiling. Any ideas?

I too believe it's called winging, and my ballet teacher always emphasizes the heel being above the toes as well. I must admit, it does create a much nicer line, especially in pointe shoes.But it's not anatomically correct.But then again, alot of things in ballet aren't!
